Abstract: A CO2 tax has been levied on fossil heating and process fuels in Switzerland since 2008. The tax has been increased in 5 steps from an initial rate of CHF 12 to CHF 120 per ton of CO2 equivalents in 2022, which makes it one of the highest CO2 taxes in the world34. Large greenhouse gas-intensive plants are exempted from the CO2 tax since they are required to participate in the emissions trading scheme. Medium-sized plants can be exempted from the CO2 tax. In return, however, they must agree to a reduction target path with the environmental authority. The aim of this paper is to evaluate empirically the impact of the CO2 tax versus the target agreements on greenhouse gas emissions mitigations in the industrial and services sector.
